The media and Islamists are taking the Marine/Taliban incident to the troposphere.
I submit that Florida Representative Allen West has it nailed in an e-mail that he sent to The Weekly Standard, reproduced in full here (and WS had permission to print the e-mail itself):
I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
An excellent solution.
And that should be the end of that. No more kissing the ass of Islam. Period.

Why isn’t Allen West running for president??

Info on the QT indicates that some of the more Conservative new folks don’t want to have anything to do with 2012; they’re considering 2016.

Between RINO’s and democrats,I wonder what,if anything will be left of the once mighty US of A in 2016. I can only wish you good luck, and hope for the best.
Well said, when THEY do it to us, that is okay, but let our folks do ANYTHING, and it’s SHTF time with the media and the LWL… sigh
Beat and Relese has a great tounge in cheek post on this.

Here is WSF’s link from “Beat & Release.” Nicely written:
Our Humanitarian Marines
So, back when I was in the Army every few rounds in our mags were tracer, aka incendiary rounds. They made for a great fireworks show above your head as you were low-crawling through the wire in basic training.
So – here is what I think happened in Afghanistan. Taliban started shit with some Marines. Said Marines smoked the Taliban – literally – by lighting them up with regular and incendiary ammo. Once the battle was over, our Marines transitioned to caring mode. We all know the Taliban have strict burial customs and expectations for the afterlife.
Those dispatched by our war fighters are promised 72 virgins. Our Marines, notorious chasers of poontang themselves, were simply being considerate. They noticed their incendiary rounds had started several small, smoldering pockets in the flowing garments of the enemy. Marines know it is hard to copulate when you are on fire. In desperation they cast about for water with which to extinguish the embers before a full scale conflagration began. Having finished all their water before and during the fire-fight, the Marines, true to tradition, improvised, adapted, and overcame. They whipped out their Johnson’s and used sterile H2O from their own bodies to extinguish the flames threatening to consume the enemy and which would have prevented the Taliban from getting laid in the afterlife. It is difficult to engage in intercourse with a wiener shriveled in a barbecue, after all.
I think our idiot politicians should recognize these Marines for this kind act. Rather than forget about the enemy, our Marines chose to sacrifice their own bodily fluids in a humanitarian manner so the deceased enemy could become vagitarians in the hereafter.
